Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents in Fresno
Traffic accidents in Fresno can result from many factors, including:
Distracted driving (texting, adjusting devices, or eating)
Speeding and reckless driving

Each accident scene is unique, and determining liability requires thorough investigation, from reviewing the police report to examining medical records and witness statements.
Fresno Motor Vehicle Accident Statistics
Fresno County experiences a significant number of motor vehicle collisions each year, with many involving serious injuries, alcohol, pedestrians, and bicyclists. In California, car accident victims generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim.
2020 County Data: In 2020, Fresno County recorded a total of 4,459 victims killed or injured in fatal or injury-related crashes, including 593 involving alcohol, 188 pedestrian victims, and 93 bicyclist victims, as reported by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), developed by UC Berkeley SafeTREC, provides interactive crash data visualizations, including summaries and maps for Fresno’s city and county-level traffic incidents.
For up-to-date fatality data and trends, the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), accessible through TIMS and OTS, is the authoritative source used by California agencies to monitor fatalities and serious injuries in traffic crashes.
Understanding Your Rights After a Motor Vehicle Accident in Fresno
After a motor vehicle accident, victims have rights under California law. You may have the right to file a personal injury claim to seek damages for economic losses, which include past and future medical bills, lost wages, and property damage.
Medical Expenses
Medical costs not covered by health insurance and ongoing treatments.
Lost Earnings
Future lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
Property & Out-of-Pocket
Property damage to your vehicle and related out-of-pocket expenses.
Emotional Distress
Non-economic damages for intangible losses like emotional trauma, pain, and suffering.
Additional recovery areas include wrongful death claims in fatal car accidents. A skilled personal injury attorney can help ensure your rights are protected while negotiating firmly with the driver’s insurance company or pursuing litigation in court.
